EL..Reading today's paper I notice Jethro Tull will be playing the state fair this week. Do you remember the tune "aqualung"? I'm humming now. Steve

El, We have the Asian Flu, and now this problem in Russia. We need a name for the Russian thing. Russian Hangover comes to mind. After all it is a Hangover from the prior economic system that failed. The Hangover is hurting us but I don't think it is catching. NW (Just another small investor.) U.S. TRADING SUMMARY: Russia's economic and political crisis helped hammer U.S. stocks early Thursday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling more than 150 points just 30 minutes into the trading session. At 10:50 a.m. ET, the Dow was down 182 points at 8342. The Nasdaq Composite Index tumbled 49 points to 1719, and the S&P 500 was down nearly 20 points at 1064. Declines trounced advances 25-to-3 on the Big Board as 231 million shares traded hands. The 30-year Treasury was up almost a full point to yield 5.38%. Analysts said rumors of political upheaval in Russia were intensifying investor jitters about the financial crisis in that country, making it tougher for key indices to recover as quickly as they did after Wednesday's early sharp declines.
